Despite captaining United’s U18s, Mengi regularly features for the U23s, appearing in all three of their EFL clashes this season.

He also sat on the bench for United’s Europa League trip to Astana earlier in the year and reports claim he holds his own while training with the senior squad.

Manchester United U23 boss, Neil Wood, told MEN: ‘We’ll be looking to work with him next season and he’s one we want to “do a Brandon [Williams]” with, push him on and get him into that first team if we can.’

If Mengi continues in this vein, he could become the first player born in 2002 to play for Manchester United.
